Unfortunately, heavy mist has resulted in the cancelation of both the AMA Pro Grand National Expert and AMA Pro J&P Cycles Pro Singles main events today at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, Calif. AMA Pro Racing officials deemed the track unsafe to race on after multiple attempts to dry and stabilize the surface.
Each rider that was scheduled to participate in their respective main events will be awarded one point in the standings. The usual point and cash payouts for the Grand National Expert Dash for Cash will remain the same. Normal purse payouts will be paid to both the Grand National Expert Twins and the J&P Cycles Pro Singles riders per order of their starting positions for each main event.
Brad Baker's victory in the Dash will result in him receiving an additional five points to his credit, increasing his lead in the overall standings to 17 markers over second-place competitor Bryan Smith with only one round remaining.
Consider this a completely new AMA Flat Track race fan communication vehicle. Existing fans will be able to catch up on their favorite racer's season accomplishments, meet the rest of their racing team and learn some of their racing and tuning secrets. New fans will be able to learn about the roots of the competition, the classes, the sanctioning bodies and race promoters, as well as how to take the first steps into the race arena themselves.
